Narragansett Summer Running Festival

Join us for a 5K run/walk, followed by a must-attend lecture for anyone interested in firefighting tactics. This event integrates two core components of the fire service: fitness and fireground operations.

The 5K will start and end at Keating Hall, home of Brockton Firefighters Local 144, beginning at 9am. Following the race, we will host Deputy Chief Nicholas Papa of the New Britain Fire Department as he presents his course titled "Coordinating Ventilation: Supporting Extinguishment & Survivability."
